AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Kwasi
Nicknames: --
Gender: maleUser Image
Age: 16

Faction: Monster
Race: Adze

Natural Ability: Shapeshifting - Firefly. Kwasi can only feed on blood while in this form. When he is a firefly he becomes much more quick and agile than a regular bug, but if he is trapped he will be forced to revert back to human form.

Personality:
Kwasi is a worldly kind of guy. At least, that's what he believes, and wants you to think. He'll talk big and lots, and if you dont' stick around for too long, the illusion is perfect. However, Kwasi is actually incredibly naive and gullible, and is easily tricked or lead by the nose. He makes this worse by refusing to admit the truth that he has been fooled to even himself, and will end up trying to pretend that he 'totally meant to do that, i swear', and denying to himself that he's usually in far over his head.

The biggest problem stemming from his tenancy to pretend he knows everything is the fact that it ends up preventing him from knowing anything. After all, if he sets out to learn about a subject, he has to admit to himself that he doesn't already know everything there is to know about it first, and that is like pulling teeth, even in the privacy of his own head. Kwasi needs an excuse to allow himself to learn, and when he can't find one he sits stubbornly in his own ignorance and refuses to budge.

Apart from his empty boasting and an unfortunate habit of dismissing other people's achievements, (oh I could totally do that with my hands behind my back, big deal) Kwasi is a pretty easy guy to get along with. A naturally cheerful disposition and the fact that all but the least subtle insults go flying over his head keeps him in an even temper most of the time, and he demands nothing from his friends apart from their belief that what he says is indeed truefax. Or at the very least for them to not to doubt out loud.

The one easy, guaranteed way to get him into a temper is to point out his naivity, or make him look like an idiot (if he catches on). Kwasi's temper is as child-like as his gullability. He will sulk, pout, glare, and give you the silent treatment. If that isn't enough to reduce the most ferocious opponent into a state of knee-shaking fear and repentance (which it usually isn't), he's not above using his FEAR ability to give any targets of his ire bouts of bad luck. If you've clashed with Kwasi recently and keep getting nasty paper cuts and spilling mugs of hot drink down your front, it's a safe bet to point the finger at him.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Kwasi claims he's only in Amityville so that he can get access to the human world and scare the living daylights out of any human that crosses his path (of course he doesn't actually need to learn anything from the classes, he already knew that). However, in the privacy of his own mind, after he's had a rough day, he'll admit that maybe he wishes he could back up some of the things he says, and hopes Amityville will allow him to grow into the awesome guy he pretends to be.

FEAR Ability: Bad Influence (Tainted Fang) - Kwasi can give people mild bouts of unluckiness, bad fortune, and things just not going their way. This causes them to have series of small bumbles during battles, hurting themselves through clumsy and unfortunate accidents.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Kwasi has black, bug-like eyes.
Hair Colour/Style: Short on one side, long and dreaded on the other. Dreads are tied in a ponytail that is flipped forward over his shoulder.
Skin Colour: Dark mahogany, nearly black.
Clothing Style/Colours: Some ideas for different outfit styles. I'd like to get the cloth with firefly patterns on it somewhere, uhh, apart from that idk :33
Extra: Light finger/toenails the same colour of the glow from his firefly form, pointed ears.
References: turn your eyes upwards and to the right. got it?

xkdljfaldfj
that s**t is adorable
i love his shoes
i want me a pair of those

for his fear, you definitely want to make sure your FEAR falls under one of the categories. guide here. for his, it sounds like gambler's chance might be good? not really sure o u o
FEARs are like overdrives/pokemon attacks, so would his be causing a bout of unluckiness to occur during battle? reading through the adze, it doesnt really sound like an unlucky type of thing, more just ... falling ill/dying? you could maybe turn it into a FEAR where people get sick? i dunno, those are suggestions!

overall i would just say elaborate on the FEAR :333

also, i think the vampire subspecies thing is fine. after all, being created in halloween just means that someone is scared of you in the human world, so if someone was scared of an "adze," then he'd just pop up in amityville. ghosts/undead don't necessarily have to die in the real world, they can also just be created from the fear of something happening. i suppose the only real question would be if he ages/has undead qualities. that you'd need a GMs suggestion on.

i really like this dude though <3

better grab them his outfit will be changing radically soon rofl

omg thanks i was looking for that, i couldn't find the thread on fear so i just guessed. o w o

it just said 'adversely effect' for the powers, so i figured that meant stuff was going wrong. another fear effect i was thinking of is if he hung around someone for long enough he could use it on people they don't like, which matches with the servitude aspect of the undead and kind of mimic the way they normally posses people on earth, but i'm not sure if that would be too failsauce and underpowered :<

i'm assuming that the vampiric aspect of him keeps him young forever? like how vampires need to feed or they get old and dusty and stuff (in some lore)
idk idk
thank you!!

Being a vampire doesn't necessarily equal 'forever young' in TiH! Some halloweeners can choose to age as they like, or change their appearance. On a whole, vampires in many myths can alter the age they appear to be, and with the non-conventional way of aging in TiH, it's kinda of weird. I mean, some people write their chars at 1000+ years old... and just now going to 'school'? It's what you generally make of it.

On his race/sub species... Vampiric makes people tend to gravitate towards undead, but with the Adze I think is a bit more versatile. There is nothing leaning super strongly to him being undead, a spirit, and to me, comes off as more of a reaper! You could write that he's a reaper that has the ability to shapeshift, and as he gets older, and do that blood stuff. Or, you can say they are a sect of vampires. Apparently they can possess people and sorts of fun s**t? For the Adze there is a bit of flexibility here.
One thing that is nice is that even if subspecies are the same (IE: Gryphon) They don't have to be from the same family/tibe w/e. In shop there is an artic gryphon and a regular gryphon. They're both 'gryphons' but each is it's own sub species. So Adze could be 'Adze Vampire' which puts him as a vampire but specifically as an Adze vampire? IDK does that make sense?

If you lean towards making him undead there isn't much lore to stop you, just like there isn't a whole bunch of lore to push it forward.

I think his personality is aces. Small things just make me pause but are not a huge issue/anything really substantial.
-Feeding only in bug form: I'm not sure you want to make it only in bug form since then hanging out and everybody is eating... suddenly he's a bug. BUT if you mean drinking blood from it's source (another being) then lulz ignore.
-Trapped revert to human form: If he's stuck in a bottle does he...get crushed to death? Maybe depending on the bottle/net/ect he goes 'miniature' until freed? IDK on this one really. Your call.

Other then that it's all gooodddd.

omg i'm so slow

ok yeah i'm still so on the edge about what species he should be - idk he doesn't strike me as a reaper since adze have nothing to do with transporting/collecting souls? plus he's got the pointy ears and bug eyes which don't really fall into the 'looks like a human' thing, and he can easily stay in his bug form for days (reading through the reaper thing they are super strict on the whole shape shifting stuff)
i think actually he might be best suited to be a monster? it seems to be a good catch all category that could fit him in.

the possession is really neat but idk how i'd work it into him, apart from just mentioning that he can posses humans as flavr text.

umm for feeding in bug form, he needs to be in bug form to drink blood, that's about it, yeah :> and rofl no i imagine if he was trapped in a jar he'd smash through it. (but remain 'trapped' until he managed to get away from the person who caught him, so he wouldn't be able to just revert to bug form and book it)

Monster would work! Again, I think you have a lot of versatility here. So go with what you think is best.

With Nat. Abilities you gain one for each year they progress. So, it could be his y2 ability. When that would come around you could work with admins to get it worked out. Since possessing humans is a skill his race know, but he wouldn't know humans just yet, it could be that he practices on minipets and students for a while as y2 sort of thing, but again, all down the road.

IE: Israfel my student is a siren, and while he can't go practice on humans, he certainly can on minipets and other students, (with their consent)

ooh i though that was with fear techniques only! yeah that would defiantly be my choice for a y2 ability :>
PostPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 1:09 pm


It can be either or for possession I think. Like all FEAR and Nat. abilities, they'll need approval and if you decided pre-y2 you want him to have it as his FEAR ability instead, you can work it out with admins as his y2 FEAR, and then can pick a dif. nat. y2 ability.

All in ~le future~ so I wouldn't stress to much about it. As far as y1, his entry level, I approve

yeah, i guess i just can't see which of the preset FEARS it would fit with, so i think it works more as a flavour skill rather than something to be used in combat

anyhoo i'll worry about that when the time comes, like you said smile

The gnomes had no trouble finding the Acceptance Bin in its hiding spot behind Arel's desk, but were hesitant in approaching it.

"Hey...you know you don't have to be ashamed."

"That's right, tons of weirder thing have happened to you from eating all those applications! This is only mildly freakish!"

"Aw man, you just made it worse! Ahhh...what he meant to say is that you look very ah...pretty?"

"Yeah not every day you see a Bin with a giant glowing a**!"

"Not helping!"

The Acceptance Bin would later describe this as the most embarrassing day ever. The gnomes would write in their diaries that it looked like Bin had finally entered puberty.
